My God. It's like *Lord of the Flies* comes to the White House...

[First Speaker]

...everyone out for themselves, everyone ready to stab each other in the back...everyone taping everyone else. I can't believe that the "Honorable Omarosa" is the only one with tapes. It's like a pack of wild dogs all tearing each other to pieces. And I wonder, by the way, just how the security at the White House permitted all this. If there are as many tapes and tapers as I suspect, someone in the Secret Service needs to be fired. But we've come to the ultimate destination of Trumpism and indeed, of "conservatism"--the Hobbesian war of all against all, nasty, brutish, and short. It can't get worse than this...can it...?

1. Trump hired people like him, so this is no surprise.

Trump is a sneaky, lying, backstabbing bastard and those are the kinds of people he likes. So of course they almost immediately turned on each other.

2. It must be what trump wants.

And what he's used to.
